Sanguine

(1) Perform the reaction OUTSIDE, due to formation of copious amounts of NO and NO2.

I know.

(2) After all copper is dissolved, boil the solution for a while, to drive off all remains of NO2/N2O3 from the solution.

Oh... thanks

Btw, I suddenly see that this is in a pyrotechnics thread. I would not really call this pyrotechnics, but that is another issue.

Suddenly...? -.-

as you wish, back to topic

TACN (tetrammine copper (II) nitrate, a salt, having formula [Cu(NH3)4](NO3)2, which contains the deep blue tetrammine copper (II) ion. Here the NH3 is the reductor and the NO3(-) is the oxidizer: It decomposes thus:

 

Cu(NH3)4(NO3)2 ---> Cu + 2N2 + 6H2O

 

Here follows a picture of this stuff. Yeah, I made some of this. It is sufficiently stable to keep it in a display vial and showing it to people .

picture of this stuff <--- my question was relating to this link, sorry.

a K3wl is someone that would want to make large amounts of TACN

I have a question about TACN...

If I use Cu instead of CuO, would it also work?

(I come from austria) I can buy KNO3...

But I think it`s unnecessary to use the fertilizer, there are more efficient ways to harm yourself...

what would you use to ignite it?

Hi.

I`ve lost my name, so if anyone of you...

I have to go.

*runs off*
